Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1203 Chaos Unfurling

Even the man who was her beloved had forsaken her; his devotion now entirely belonged to Violet.

From her vantage point on the second floor, Lucy observed the scene below with a heavy heart. Cheers and applause erupted from the crowd as the grand surprise unfolded.

She watched Lennon emerge from the oversized gift box, his face lighting up as he embraced Violet in a warm hug.

Her gaze remained steady as Lennon knelt down, his voice filled with sincerity as he professed his love to Violet.

She felt a pang of bittersweet resignation as she watched Lennon slide the engagement ring onto Violet's slender finger, the final act of commitment that sealed their bond.

Lucy's lips tightened into a thin line, her gaze drifting unconsciously to the wedding ring located on her right hand's ring finger.

The simple silver band stood as a testament to her modesty and Colin's understanding. She had never wanted Colin to spend extravagantly, and he had honored her wishes without question.

In stark contrast, the ring Lennon had just placed on Violet's finger glittered ostentatiously, a diamond the size of a pigeon egg. Its extravagant brilliance caught the light, a symbol of wealth and opulence that seemed to eclipse the quiet simplicity of Lucy's own ring.

Below, Lennon held Violet in a jubilant embrace, his face alight with joy as he announced to the crowd, "We're getting married!"

The whole venue erupted in a frenzy of exhilaration and applause.
